With social media being as popular as it is today, people are able to market themselves and even their children to big-name brands and companies. The more followers an account has, the more appealing it is to a company looking to advertise their merchandise and products.
Luckily for influencers and social media users, this can end up in a big pay day.

Many companies like to use influencers to push their products and merch.
When an influencer or social media user has a lot of followers, companies will sometimes pay them to post their products or even wear their merch on their social media pages.
It pays off in the end, because the company usually gets a ton of sales off of the post.
While influencers are capitalizing on this, kids are as well.
Many parents have social media pages that they run for their young children.
People love looking at adorable babies and toddlers and many times, their profiles rack up a substantial amount of followers, too.
So much, that they even get endorsement deals from companies, too.
It’s crazy to think that some children are making more than most adults.
With company endorsements and even sponsored posts, it’s not uncommon for young children to rack up money through social media profiles.
Some companies pay upwards of $5,000-$10,000 for a sponsored post on Instagram nowadays, depending on a user’s reach and following.
One toddler on Instagram has gained huge popularity due to her fashion account.
Elise Prior, a 3-year-old fashion influencer, has over 23,700 followers on her Instagram profile that her mom, Sophie, runs.
The 3-year-old started out when her mom began posting her outfits on the Instagram page and she started gaining a ton of followers.
From there, Sophie decided to sign her up for modeling agencies.
Not thinking anything of it, Elsie’s mother decided to reach out to modeling agencies for her daughter. Turns out, they absolutely adore the 3-year-old, and she’s worked with big companies like Zara, M&S, River Island, and Sainsbury’s, too.
Because of her huge following, the companies endorse her for posts, too.
When Sophie began posting her daughter’s outfits, many people would comment and message the mom asking where her clothes were from.
Thanks to this popularity, many companies send clothing to the mom and daughter and pay them for their posts, too.
That being said, it’s not hard to believe that some moms look down on Elsie’s mom for this.
It’s a bold move to make, that’s for sure.
“I do get criticism – some mums really don’t agree with it, but we’re setting up her future.”
“The modeling is a regular job for her, and it pays unbelievable money,” Sophie told The Sun about her daughter’s career at 3-years-old.
Sophie says she hopes this will help her daughter out in the future.
With all of the money that Elsie is making, Sophie puts it into a savings account for her daughter. Being that she is only 3-years-old, she has plenty of time to work everything out.
The money she makes now is going to be there for her for whatever she decides to do later in life.
While other moms may judge Sophie, we can’t say we’re not impressed.
At the end of the day, no matter what people think, these two are going to do whatever they like anyhow.
So might as well enjoy the adorable photos and hope that everything works out for the best, am I right?
And, Elsie is just too cute for words!
